It’s that time again for the Head On festival’s ACMP exhibition in Centennial Park, with this years theme ‘inspired’. I am really interested to know what can inspire someone. What inspires you?

How can an image impact someone? I find I react to simple, honest images that trigger something inside me. Does that mean I’m simple inside?? Maybe we react to something that we can relate to or we already feel something about.

I entered my seascapes because I love their beauty, the drama and the sense of something bigger than ourselves. Instead of supplying text I included song lyrics for each image. I see the seascapes as an access and an illustration of feelings held inside; things that we may not wear on the surface but where our minds wander to in quiet times.

What inspires you?

Christian, love your blog post…truely inspiring! Although I’m a writer and lover of words, a do love the power of nature and music, especially combined. Truely powerful and beyond words. I find I need to simply slow down, even be still and the inspiration is just about everywhere. When you’re travelling at high speed through life you miss all the great stuff. Thanks for the reminder.
IS the work you speak of online/ digital?

Song Title: Breathe
Writer(s): HOLLY LAMAR, STEPHANIA BENTLEY
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And I’ve never been this swept away

All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I’m lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart

‘Cause I can feel you breathe
It’s washing over me
And suddenly I’m melting into you
There’s nothing left to prove
Baby, all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn’t that the way that love’s suppose to be
I can feel you breathe

In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I’ve ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There’s no need for words right now

Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn’t that the way that love’s suppose to be
I can feel you breathe

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way…

Song Title: Your Song
Writer(s): ELTON JOHN, BERNIE TAUPIN
It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I’m not one of those, who can easily hide
I don’t have much money, but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again no,
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you

And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope don’t you mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song,
It’s for people like you, that keep it turned on.

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I’ve forgotten, if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen.

Song Title: Imagine
Writer(s): LENNON, JOHN
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
